Worthy Art Studio

     The concept for the name "Worthy Art" is my response to a frequently asked question by many of my students - "is my work good enough?"  Of course my reply is that everything we do in my class is worthy - worthy of exhibition, worthy of presentation, worthy of publication, etc.   Hence the prefix for the naming of the classes offered, for example, "Worthy of Fridge Magnets" is a children's art class, "Worthy of  Wall Space" is an adult drawing and painting class.   As well as striving for technical excellence,  the atmosphere in my class is supportive, non-judgmental and fun.  The name inspires a positive outlook.

     All classes include a demonstration, personal  one - to -one guidance, and a class critique. I strongly believe in "walking the talk" and never ask students to do something that I personally cannot do.  All classes have an academic base and in  some cases are consistent with under-graduate degree programs.   

     The name "Worthy Art" also applies to my own work in illustration, design and painting. The positive attribute of the name lends credibility to many years of hands on experience in  the "industry" illustrating and teaching.
